This was a great recipe, I followed the instructions exactly and it turned out a great. I did pop my popcorn on the stove (1/2c popcorn & 1 shotglass of canola oil=perfect!) because I thought the flavor would better than with microwave popcorn and IMHO it was--Also when I stirred in the butterscotch chips I had a hard time getting them to melt and I used mini ones, so I put the pan back on the stove at very low heat and that worked. Also used roasted cashews no salt because hubby grabbed the wrong bag and they were fine although next time I really want to use salted cashews because I love sweet/salty foods. We nibbled some before I bagged but one recipe made a full gallon ziploc bag, so you would definetly double the recipe for gifts or large gathering. Thanks for posting!
